What you'll need to record it
- The notarized document itself. An online notarization produces an electronic document. Miami-Dade County accepts electronic recording through Corporation Service Company (CSC), e-Docs Solutions, eRecording Partners, Hopdox, Simplifile, Swift-E Recording, so a title company or eRecording vendor can usually submit the electronic file directly.
- Recording fees. Fees are set by the county and state and change; check the current fee schedule on the official Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller, County Recorder (Official Records) site before you submit.
- Any required state forms for your document type (for example, transfer or property-tax forms for deeds). The county site lists what it requires.
- Confirmation the recipient accepts it. The receiving office or party decides whether to accept a remotely notarized document. If unsure, call the office before your notary session.
